How to:

​

WET LAY:  This refers to setting the stones in a bed of mortar and packing the joints with grout. This results in a very smooth surface suitable for walking barefooted and sliding chairs. The general rule of thumb is to make your stone and mortar patio a total of 4″ thick when laid on compacted, consolidated ground. This is adequate for most foot traffic.

​

DRY LAY:  Without using any mortar, dry lay can sometimes be as simple as plopping down some step stones right onto the dirt. More formal patios can be dry laid but some thought to the base preparation might be necessary. Usually flagstone for a dry laid needs to be thicker to give it more mass and not as prone to tipping when you step right on the comer. Slabs are much better for a dry lay job because of their large size.

 

One Ton of 1″ flagstone will cover approximately 150 square feet
